Exam 3: Recognizing Objects

The bigram CO is more common in English than CQ, which makes identifying CORN more likely than identifying CQRN. According to feature nets, how is knowledge of bigram frequency stored?

The recognition of faces:

A feature net is a:

The "word-superiority effect" refers to the fact that it is easier to recognize:

We can often recognize an object even if some of the object's parts are hidden from view. Evidence indicates that this recognition from partial viewing will be easiest if:

The term "top-down processing" can be interchanged with:

On one trial of an experiment, a participant is shown the sequence GWXT. On a different trial, the participant is shown the sequence PAFE. On the basis of prior research, we should expect that:

In a tachistoscopic procedure, participants are shown the sequence NACL. Evidence indicates that:

We often encounter ambiguous letters when reading handwritten words, but can still interpret them. For example, the same shape can be interpreted as an A in CAT but an H in THE. How does the feature net account for this?

The form of brain damage identified as prosopagnosia is primarily characterized by an inability to:

According to the recognition by components (RBC) model, geons are NOT:

Which of the following statements is TRUE about inverted face recognition?

Participants' recognition thresholds are:

Which of the following statements BEST describe viewpoint-dependent object recognition?

A tachistoscope is a device used to:

Perception depends on:

A bigram detector fires in response to the:

Researchers have used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to disrupt portions of the healthy brain. When asking participants to search for a target, we expect TMS applied to the parietal lobe to:

One might propose that pattern recognition begins with the identification of simple elements; these are then added together, like tiles within a mosaic, to allow recognition of the large-scale pattern. Which of the following statements is MOST problematic for this proposal?

It is suggested that features have special status. Which of the following findings does NOT support this hypothesis?
